Croce Jim Wear Out The Turnpike Lyrics

Wear Out The Turnpike Lyrics

Written by - Jim Croce & Ingrid Croce

 There's ice and snow on the northern roads

 And the Jersey Pike is closed

 Have to go and do some drivin' tonight

 They say I'd be a fool if I would ride those icy roads

 But a little storm ain't stoppin' me tonight

 

 Chorus: 

 

 I'm gonna wear out the turnpike

 Rack up those miles

 Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile

 'Cause she's in Oklahoma and

 I'm up in Maine

 So diesel sing a song that will bring me home again

 Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

 Doodle doo doo doo

 

 There's a red light turnin' behind me

 There's a trooper on my tail

 I can tell I won't get to New York town on time

 If he decides to pull me over

 And if he get's me on the scale

 I'm gonna have to tell a tale or take a fine

 

 Chorus

 

 With the snow against my windshield

 I will run on through the night

 There's not stoppin' me once I hit the road

 Cause the turnpike's like my second home

 And I know it like my hand

 So diesel sing a song that'll bring me home again

 

 Chorus
